Looking forward to it Twin
Ok, so my (our) plans thus far are…....
Thursday - Get to hotel late (10pm), buy Beer, Tropicana and Hersheys from the Green Emporium, go to bed.
Friday - Shopping, wandering around Midtown, Pam wants to go to Macys so me and Tom will hit Toys R Us and Midtown Comics, anyone with kids or a childish nature is welcome to join us. Wander over to the NY Public Library for our "Ghostbusters" pic. Go visit "The Soup Man" for afternoon snacks, chill for a while then head out for beers wherever, and with whoever is around and interested.
Saturday - Lazy morning, followed by going down to Supreme, Old Navy (Tommys Tee's), BiG and SENY for some hardcore shopping. Back to the hotel to drop stuff off and get ready to P A R T Y !!!!
Sunday - Soccer Breakfast with Landon and the boys and girls, wander around SoHo, Greenwich etc. - BIG BLANK SPACE - Afternoon meal at Serendipity at 5pm, maybe a few light beers if anyone is still standing?
Monday - Feck all planned.
Tuesday - Feck all planned –----------> Fly home at 9pm.
I am planning on buying an AT&T sim card upon landing, and I am also contactable on my email address (emporergav01@hotmail.com). I will text my new number to whoever wants to give me their number upon getting to the hotel

Friday, Midtown comics its on!!!!
-
Like Kong !!!!
-
Two weeks today for comic shopping
Question: I get paid whilst I am in NY, and the chances are I will spend myself into the ground. Is there anywhere that I can access my UK bank account in NY? I know in Tokyo I could use "Citibank" ATM's, is this the same for NY?

I assure you there will be plenty of both Alex

Sorry to hear that Nate, but we'll have a beer for you

As was pointed out to me by Urbanwoodsman, I might not need to buy a US specific sim for NY, as if the people I am contacting have iPhones I can simply use iMessage. I know this covers Urb, G+P, and I think Landon, if anyone else has an iPhone and would like my number to use iMessage please send me a PM.
I can receive messages, and simply duck into any Starbucks to return them.

mega download viber too
it uses wifi or your data to make calls and texts to anyone else with viber. and i believe that includes none iphones

cards are looking grim for me on this trip
i think im out kids
truck needs tires, brakes and shocks
plus the body work i just had done
sucks
but i'll just cop onlineOuch, I hear ya. I almost had to cancel this trip as well. Jeep needed new engine (spun a rod bearing), tires, transfer box was shot, new fluids all around, brake pads and rotors all around had to be replaced. Couple of the things were covered under warranty, but still wound up spending over $6k

You didn't go to Iran with your wife?
You know how many milkshakes she drank without you?EDIT: I know that could have sounded terribly perverse, but i meant it in a very literal sense.
